On January 7, 2009, Zhou Shi left Chen Wen and others who stayed in Canada, and returned to Huaxia with 3~4 assistants. On this day, Huaxia's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued three mobile 3G licenses. China's 3G investment kicked off, and Wang Jianzhou of China Mobile invited Zhou Shi, Feng Xing, Li Yinan and others to discuss strategic cooperation.

At this time, Datang Telecom increased its capital by 2 billion soft sister coins, Sixiang Fund became the largest shareholder of Datang Telecom, and Li Yinan became the chairman of the board of directors of Datang Telecom. With the support of many parties, Sixiang Fund occupies one-third of the seats on the board of directors.

Wang Jianzhou's invitation is for the development of the TD industry, and the development of TD is not simply an economic issue, but also has many other considerations. Let a giant like China Mobile take the lead, and there are specific task requirements, which shows how determined the country is. Zhou Shi also asked his think tank, Spreadtrum Communications, Guoke Technology and other opinions that if the network conditions are good and the mobile phone terminal is powerful, TD's development in China will not be very bad. If Spreadtrum's mobile phone chips develop smoothly, Guoke will be very sure to make a good mobile phone.

After understanding clearly, Zhou Shi and the others formally met with Wang Jianzhou. China Mobile has always been a giant, even at the height of the financial crisis, it still has a market value of more than 1 trillion Hong Kong dollars. But fortunately, when the two sides met, he was not condescending and domineering towards Zhou Shi. I don't know if the senior management of Huaxia has an accurate understanding of Zhou Shi's net worth, but Zhou Shi thinks that even if some details are not clear, they should still have an understanding of the scale of assets that Zhou Shi controls or can influence.

"We want to reach a strategic partnership with Guoke, hoping to provide us with more excellent mobile phones. "A vice president of China Mobile

"Of course, there is no problem, it is our obligation to provide consumers with excellent mobile phone products, but China Mobile will purchase our mobile phones according to which level of the company, Nokia, Samsung or China Cool Union or other small companies?" Feng Xing

"If the quality of the mobile phone is up to standard, we can purchase it according to the standards of China Cool Union. "The vice president of the move

"How far do we have to go to surpass Apple?" Feng Xing

"We have a set of standards, as long as you meet the standards, we will give you corresponding treatment"

"Oh, according to the information we have gathered, various foreign companies are hostile to TD, and will not provide any help to the TD industry chain in two to three years, and on the contrary, there will be suppression. That is to say, if there is no external influence, in about two years, China Mobile will not get a good enough TD mobile phone, and the world's leading chip manufacturers will not have a suitable supply of TD chips. "Feng Xing

"You're speculating, our news is the opposite. The vice president hesitated for a while, but quickly reacted.

"Yes, this is our analysis of Qualcomm's R&D investment, and they don't have a research plan for TD chips until now. Feng Xing threw out a list of qualifications, business competition, intelligence first, and this is not very confidential information, all of which are concluded by Zhou Shi's assistant team through the analysis and collation of information from public semi-public or acquired information. Time Lab also has the task of cooperating with Zhou Shi's assistant team, and has invested a lot in technology for the collation and analysis of information. The information on Qualcomm's research direction and funding flow is one of the results of Zhou Shi's assistant team. Guoke still needs to pay for this information, internal information exchange, and everyone pays according to the effect.

The information on the fruit shell shattered many illusions of China Mobile.

"As the richest man in China and the most outstanding mobile phone company in China, I have greater confidence in our cooperation!" Wang Jianzhou took the initiative to speak

"Oh, thank you for the compliment, we are very yearning for the cooperation of China Mobile, but if we want to develop the TD industry chain, we face many difficulties. "Zhou Shi

"Without difficulties, we wouldn't be sitting together!" Wang Jianzhou

"Yes, Mr. Wang should have some understanding of us, Spreadtrum Communications has some accumulation in the TD field, but it is far from enough, if there is no large amount of investment, it is also difficult to make a breakthrough in TD chips, and TD only has a market in China. If we work so hard to develop a chip that is suitable for mobile, but mobile does not give us enough support, our investment is likely to be wasted. "Zhou Shi

"We will not let our partners suffer, and I believe that China Mobile still has this credibility. "Wang Jianzhou

"One thing that Mr. Wang may have ignored is that we are not equal to the competition with companies like Qualcomm Samsung, the same product, we need to use 10 million to make a breakthrough, they may rely on technical advantages, only need 3 million, but according to the previous procurement of China Mobile and other enterprises, they are often inclined to these technologically advanced foreign companies. To be honest, we don't have enough motivation if China Mobile continues this procurement strategy. "Zhou Shi

"Mr. Zhou may have misunderstood, but we are not discriminating against domestic companies. "Wang Jianzhou

"Mr. Wang, my time company is very experienced in big data analysis, this is the conclusion they have reached through years of data analysis, maybe Mr. Wang has not noticed such a fact, after all, most of the time in the past, the quality of foreign brands was better than that of domestic products. ”

"Big data analysis?" Wang Jianzhou, as the head of China Mobile, has also heard of the concept of big data.

"We've only just started researching, but the results are remarkable," Zhou Shi didn't elaborate

"Then we'll talk about that later. "Wang Jianzhou

"Okay, I'm looking forward to communicating with Mr. Wang" Zhou Shi likes to absorb the successful experience of others very much, and every communication with these giants is a harvest.

The next negotiations were relatively smooth, although the cooperation between the two sides began under the influence of external forces, but after understanding the specific situation, we also knew that the cooperation between the two sides is not the only way to solve the dilemma of the TD industry, at least there will be a win-win effect.

In the first negotiation, we established a basic framework, which is generally that if Spreadtrum develops a suitable mobile phone chip, China Mobile will give priority to purchasing mobile phones using Spreadtrum chips, and if foreign companies launch TD chips, China Mobile will purchase mobile phones using Spreadtrum chips under the premise of the same performance. The so-called priority is that within a certain number of years, the purchase of mobile phones using Spreadtrum chips is one to three percent more than that of mobile phones using other chips. Then there is China Mobile's requirement for Spreadtrum to invest in TD chip research and development funds. The specific details are very complicated, which is not what Zhou Shi is good at, Wang Jianzhou also only attended the first negotiation, and then asked Zhou Shi to come out to chat.

Finally came to this day, on January 14, Nortel Networks, the largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer in North America, officially filed for bankruptcy protection from various governments, and Nortel Networks' patents were successfully obtained.
